JulianCalaby<p>Cursed homelab update:</p><p>Server #2 now has two fancy new 8TB NAS drives in it, but I forgot to grab a new fan while getting them so it's down a fan. I had the wizard wheeze of putting a duct thing in the case and using the PSU's fan to drawer air, but:<br>1. Corsair's PSUs are so efficient that this one doesn't spin up it's fan<br>2. The Linux driver for it doesn't let you set the fan speed</p><p>So I have a random fan hooked up to a PSU blowing air on the drives for now.</p><p>I'm also trying to do the whole recovery as non-destructively as possible, so system disk has been copied to temporary storage on one of the NAS drives, and I'm currently copying-ish the Ceph OSD's storage onto the other before wiping all 6 other drives in the system, turning two into a mirrored pair of system drives and the rest can be OSDs, including the two new 8TB NAS drives ... once they're done being a lifeboat for the only remaining storage on that server.</p><p>Speaking of storage stuff happening: big copy part 3 and 4 are happening: copying all the storage my _partner_ cares about into Ceph, which is on the last MD-RAID array. So the rough plan is:<br>1. Copy everything that is self-contained other than the Big Folder ✅ <br>2. Copy parts of the Big Folder ✅ <br>3. Repartition server #2 adding ~16TB to the array 🚧<br>4. Copy the remaining parts of the Big Folder<br>5. Turn the RAID members over to OSDs</p><p>Oh yeah, it's all coming together!</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homelab</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ceph" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ceph</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/raid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>raid</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/cursed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cursed</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CursedHomelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CursedHomelab</span></a></p>
